Abstract:
An apparatus is capable of executing a facsimile communication using an Error Correction Mode (ECM) function based on a facsimile procedure with a communication partner connected via an Internet Protocol (IP) network. In response to receiving, from the communication partner via the network, a communication start request including information indicating a transport protocol for use in the communication, if the apparatus determines that the transport protocol for use in the communication does not have the error correction function, the apparatus sends to the communication partner a notification indicating that the apparatus is capable of executing the communication using the ECM function. Otherwise, if the apparatus determines that the transport protocol for use in the communication has the error correction function, the apparatus sends to the communication partner a notification indicating that the apparatus is incapable of executing the communication using the ECM function.
Abstract:
A wireless adapter for a digital camera enables communications between the digital camera and remote devices over a wireless network. The wireless adapter comprises a wireless interface for communicating with remote devices, a housing for enclosing said wireless interface, a mechanical connector on said housing to mechanically connect the wireless adapter to the digital camera, and a camera interface to electrically connect the wireless adapter with the digital camera.
Abstract:
A method is provided for controlling an electronic apparatus, the electronic apparatus including a USB interface that is used for connecting a USB device of a first device class in a first operation mode controlled by a first control program. The method includes reading, upon connection of a USB device of a second device class different from the first device class to the USB interface, a second control program for controlling a second operation mode from the connected USB device; and starting the second operation mode by storing in a storage unit the second control program and executing the second control program.
Abstract:
The output method is determined for providing optimal output in order to output image information supplied from the image input unit such as a feeder effectively while taking the states of power supply of the apparatus and the external apparatus into account.
Abstract:
A burden on a user operating a mobile terminal can be reduced for causing image data to become printable. An image 31 represented by image data obtained by photography or reception of an e-mail message is displayed on a liquid crystal display monitor 13 of a mobile phone together with a Print button 33 for printing processing that causes the image data to become printable. When a user selects the Print button 33, a printing processing menu is displayed for sending the image data to a DPE store providing a network printing service or to an output apparatus such as a printer having an infrared port, for example. When the user selects a desired type of printing processing, the selected printing processing is carried out. In this manner, the user can cause the image data representing the image 31 to become printable with less complex operation.
Abstract:
A system for tracking the location of an electronic device includes an electronic device and a wireless location tag. The wireless location tag includes a microcontroller unit, and a modular connector interface configured to be communicatively coupled to a port of the electronic device. The wireless location tag is configured to establish an Internet connection to one or more backend electronic devices in response to detecting that the wireless location tag has been communicatively coupled to the port of the electronic device, obtain identifying information that is associated with the electronic device, and identify tag identifying information associated with the wireless location tag. The wireless location tag is also configured to send one or more instructions to the one or more backend electronic devices via the Internet connection, and send one or more ping messages to the one or more backend electronic devices.
Abstract:
A printing control apparatus is provided. The printing control apparatus includes a storage unit which stores at least one image, a profile generation unit which generates a profile to perform quick printing with respect to the stored image, a link forming unit which searches for at least one image forming apparatus in the vicinity of the printing control apparatus in a wireless communication manner, and forms a wireless communication link with the searched image forming apparatus, a communication interface which transmits the generated profile to the image forming apparatus with which the link is formed, and a controller which controls the communication interface to transmit an image which is requested to be transmitted by the image forming apparatus with which the link is formed in response to the transmitted profile.
